Holy Saturday

Dear Fathers, Friends in Christ, Gospel Mark 16:1-7Holy Saturday's Easter Vigil liturgy is not only the high point of the Church year, it is also a feast for the senses! We see the solitary glow of the Easter Candle amidst the darkness. We hear the Alleluias finally break forth! We smell the spicy incense and the sharp, sweet scent of lilies. We touch the waxy candles in our hands. And, finally, we taste Christ in the Host, the Bread of Life, the risen Lord Himself! The Church pulls out all the stops for the Easter Vigil, and the kernel of the message is contained in tonight's gospel, where the angel tells the astonished women at the tomb:"You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; He is not here!" Let us all rejoice together this Easter! And together, let us proclaim:Christ is risen! Truly He is risen! Glory to Your holy resurrection, O Christ our God! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

OUR MISSION . Our Church is a family of believers committed to living the faith once-delivered to the Saints ( Jude 1:3) and received by the Church throughout the centuries. While ours is an ancient way rejoicing in the tradition and piety of the early Church, we are not a museum of religious antiquities but a living community of faithful people, reaching out to our neighbours with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. Traditional Christians are often accused of being stuck in the past. However, the greater danger for Christians today is an uncritical acceptance of new teachings and practices. Because " Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8) the faith of the past is the wave of the future. As God said through the prophet Jeremiah, " Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it, and find rest for your souls " Jeremiah 6:16
